Yirringarni is one of the Tiwi traditional vegetation classifications meaning billabong, swamp or waterhole. Waterholes are the principal source of life in the outback & form sacred sites where people meet for physical & spiritual sustenance. They are both social & sacred sites for Aboriginal communities & the rivers & gullies that link them form natural pathways for people to travel between them. Connected waterholes are one of the most common symbols in Aboriginal art.

The most expressive, evocative depiction of indigenous art in my opinion. On a dark background even more so. ![]() |
